Guest Testimonials

Good and Central

Stayed one night and found it an enjoyable stay. Period rooms added to the stay and the morning wake up call of the steam trains evoked a real American feel for us Brits. Enjoyed the "gun fight in the bar" and could not fault the attention and the service of all the staff.

Full of Atmosphere

Our second stay at the Strater Hotel for my husband's 60th birthday. It is right in the middle of Durango's historic main Street and is so full of atmosphere. The accommodation has all the styling of an old western hotel but with all the modern conveniences.

Fabulous

Beautiful, historic hotel full of fabulous antiques. Room was updated with beautiful antiques and the room was large. Ate dinner at their restaurant 10 years ago and had the best steak I have ever eaten. We had dinner there, I had the same meal and it did not disappoint!! Service was great throughout the hotel.
